Kat is passionate about integrative therapies. With experience as a behavioral therapist for children with autism spectrum disorder and as a chiropractic assistant, she has an appreciation of how the nervous system and stress are connected and regards the body as an integration of the physical, emotional, and mental. She believes in the body's innate ability to heal on all levels of being.

Kat has therapeutic experience in trauma, anxiety, stress, perfectionism, relationship and intimacy issues, sexuality/gender identity exploration, life transitions, grief and loss, and OCD, as well as experience working with LGBTQIPA+, ethical nonmonogamy, and kink/BDSM communities. She values strengths-based, person-centered, social justice-oriented approaches and utilizes EMDR, DBT, CBT and ERP to support her clients.

I specialize in the treatment of couples, teenagers, and adult men who want to lead more meaningful lives.

Life is more than simply black and white. There's no single method for overcoming your stressors. There's no one idea that will help you through tough times. Together, we'll develop the skills you need to meet, life's challenges with resilience and to focus on the colorful and vibrant aspects of living. You are unique, and you deserve a personalized approach that will help you reach your full potential. At Gradient Psychotherapy, my purpose is to help shift your perspective so you see the full spectrum of experience without being distracted by the extremes.

In Denver and Boulder, I work with Individuals, Adolescents, Parents, Couples, Families, and Play Therapy for Children to enhance the skills, creativity and courage needed to effectively work through struggles.
